WATCH PASTOR RICK’S MORE CHALLENGE

HEAR HOW OTHERS HAVE BEEN IMPACTED

OUR HEART

During the last year, we’ve celebrated 44 baptisms – hearing one story after another of radical transformation in Christ. Perfect. Our church is growing through transformation, not just transfer. We are seeing people who haven’t attended church come to KNOW Jesus in a new and personal relationship, GROW in that relationship, and GO out to advance His Kingdom. It’s Kingdom growth with redemption stories.

MORE

But it’s not enough. We want more. There are lives at stake. More need to hear about our great God. More need freed from the bonds of religion. More need freed from the bonds of sin, guilt, shame, and death. We love what is happening at Redemption, and we want to throw more logs on the fire, so that more can be warmed by the glow.

THE PROBLEM

We’ve maxed out our worship space. Our parking has been expanded once, and we’re out of space again. We’re doing everything we can to maximize our current facility. Sadly, we’ve seen people come on our property and drive away because they can’t find a parking spot or a seat. Yes, it’s inconvenient to us. But “our people” tend to stay and figure it out. It’s new visitors that skip out. Those are potential redemption stories. Those are potential baptism stories. We can’t continue to let that happen. Thus, we want to build MORE to allow MORE space for MORE people.

THE SOLUTION

• we build MORE

-add an addition to the back South end of our building

-larger Atrium

-larger Worship Center with double the seating of the Big Room

-additional restrooms, office and storage for the larger facility

• reduce to 2 services, adding a 3rd service back if we continue to grow, without another building project

• double our parking

• continue to use our current Big Room for events for Men’s, Women’s and Student ministries

OUR NEED

The cost of this expansion project is $4,200,000. Once we factor in paying off our current mortgage, savings we have to spend on the project, and our ability to borrow, we at least need to raise $300,000 more. Of course, the more we raise, the less debt we have, freeing us to more Kingdom work. But we at least need commitments for $300,000 before we can even begin. Meanwhile, more people keep coming. So, for the good of our mission, we really need to get moving.

YOUR PART

• Would you double your giving for six months? Some of you will be led by the Lord to do way more than that. We’re okay with that too.

• Maybe you’ll give it each week or month over the next six months. Maybe you’ll pull it from assets and give it as a lump sum. If you want to donate stock, please contact our office.

• There is not a separate check to write or a separate building fund. Just double your giving and the excess will go to this project. Some of you might end up tithing for the first time in your life, and we pray

you never stop.

• We will have a time of worship and commitment during worship services on November 18th. Let’s give more, so that we can build more, so that more people can experience redemption.
